Valin Back On NBC CT TV, Hettrick Leavings WFSB

No, your mind is not playing tricks on you. That is Jeff Valin and he is back on Connecticut television sets.

Valin, who left NBC CT in 2014 for a job at WBNS-10 in Columbus, Ohio last year, has returned.

"Jeff has re-joined us on a freelance basis," said NBC Ct exec Matt Piacente. "He’ll be handling some reporting duties, as well as some anchoring. We’re excited to have him," Piacente said noting Valin will be filling in on weekends and weekdays as needed.

Valin also previously worked at Fox CT and WTNH News 8.

And it's goodbye to WFSB assistant news director Patience Hettrick.

Hettrick, who has been at the Rocky Hill-based station for 16 years, has been named news director at WGGB-TV and WSHM-LD CBS 3 in Springfield, Ma.
